Another Update :)

Hello guys :) I have missed all of you. I have been doing a lot of Beauty Reviews and neglected updating this blog about the stuff I've been buying or what I've been up to :P

Here are some things I bought these past few days.. little stuff I have accumulated :P

A Hello Kitty notebook and stickers.. I have like a box full of Hello Kitty stuff that I bought or was given to me by family/friends/beauty blogger babes ^_^ Whenever I look at my lil Hello Kitty collection, it never fails to cheer me up. I'll be using the notebook by writing down the goals I want to accomplish this 2010 ^_^

I also bought a case for my iPhone. That blingy hello kitty case is only $12.99 but the glue is cheap coz it comes off really easy if you are harsh to the case. "/ I want the one I saw at luxaddiction.com but its so expensive :( I also bought the Hello kitty cellphone strap for my collection and a rilakkuma stationary pad. I want to start collecting Rilakkuma but dunno really where to buy them. Such a cute bear ^_^

I went O.P.I. happy and bought 4! :P I wanted more.. hahahaa! I have a growing collection of O.P.I. Nailpolish and will show you guys soon! :)

Then I joined the Bandwagon and bought myself the 3 flavors of EOS lip balm. I'm loving this lip balm. Not only its cute to have but really moisturizes my lips.. Smells great too! My fave? The red one! Smells like lychee :P

Also my cousin from the Philippines sent me these cute slippers. I love them! So soft.. :)

Last Wednesday, Adrian took me to Boiling Crab to have lunch there! YUMM-OOOH!!  It was so good, now I know what they were raving about! ^_^ But Adrian already cooked me some buttered shrimp before and I'm proud to say that his cooking and the boiling crab recipe were both good and taste the same :P

We got some Crawfish and shrimp. The Crawfish tasted better than the shrimp :P Although its the same seasoning, the crawfish seems tastier.

Overall, I have enjoyed my lunch there ^_^ I cannot wait for another trip there so we can eat there again :P

I also started another blog called .:Point and Shoot:. Its just a blog where I put all the photos I have taken using my canon sd780. Not all photos, but the photos I find interesting or nice :P Please have a moment and visit that blog and let me know what you guys think :)

I haven't been working Overtime and will probably start soon.. I also haven't been attending my Bikram Yoga class and I really need to start again. I dunno, i feel like I'm falling behind all the goals I have set. I need to pick myself up again and restart everything. "/ Hope you guys are doing well. I have so many stuff to review but I will try to find time and update this bloggie again. I love my Bloggie. It keeps me sane from everything that has been happening. ♥♥♥

Clinique GWP!

Hello ladies.. and gents! I have not been working.. It's been 7 days since I last worked. Going back to work on Monday. It was a great 9 days off. LOL.. Monday is the start of my 16 hours shift. X( So not looking forward to it.. UGH!

Anyway, If you have not join WuzzyAngel's Give away, now is the time.. hahaha! :] Let's help each other spread the word and gain awareness! Fight Breast Cancer! GO PINK!

Clinique GWP
Yay! I love GWP! More goodies for me.. its not like I'm breaking my "no make up haul" since I only bought some skin care.. and these make up are free! :P Btw, its been exactly 2 months since I bought my last make up.. It was August 16.. Now its October 16.. Can you believe that? I can't either.. Haha! With so much goodies at the CCO, I can't believe I was able to resist it :P I am also thinking of extending my "no make up haul" til November..  Hmmm..

My acne are all dried up.. But I bought this so I can maintain an acne free skin.. Let's see if it works, will let you know! Will do a review soon :]

My back up! My all time favorite cleanser. I always love trying out different cleanser but somehow I always end up going back to this cleanser. EXTRA MILD! So MILD indeed! :]

If you spend $21.50 and more at Clinique, you can get this GWP.. Its so cute! Hahah! LOve the prints :]

Blush and 2 eyeshadows :] Perfect for the "I gotta hurry up" make up..

Cute lipstick shade for the Fall :] Can't wait to try it out :D

My favorite exfoliator! A mini one! ahahah! Its such a great exfoliator, I tell ya! I need to make a review regarding this 7 day scrub cream. As for the DDML, Not really a fan of this moisturizer.

Hello Kitty!
I went to Sanrio - I always stop by there whenever I'm at Ontario. Whether I buy something or not, its a must that I stop by at that store.. :P I bought some stickers.. and I saw this iPhone 3Gs cases there, and I fell in love! OMG for $16.99, I thought its worth it! :D Very pretty case! They have more designs there..  I love my iPhone :]

That's it for now.. I will be very busy next week so I probably won't be able to be on blogger.. Will miss you all :D Happy Weekend! I'll be at Anaheim tomorrow to attend our friend's wedding! :)

San Francisco Trip: Day 02!

. . . . . .Continuation of my San Francisco Trip.. It was Saturday and Birthday of Adrian. Our day started at 12am of Sept 05 because that's when I gave my gift to him..

He's in for some surprises...

MY SURPRISE FOR HIM!

You guys can get an idea on how to surprise your significant other on their bdays ;]

There's a funny story behind that gift.. See, he didn't know I got him a gift. He probably has an idea but he didn't know how I got it since we're always together :P

When we checked in the hotel, my bro-in-law talked to the front desk agent there and asked him if he could deliver the gift to our hotel room at 12am. He agreed (such a nice guy!).

So during 11:50am, we called the front desk to ask for more pillows (it was just a plot so he can come up to our hotel room and hand the gift.)

So the front desk agent came up with all these pillows and knocked on our hotel room. Adrian got the pillows and was surprised to see the gift under the pillows. :P He was surprised and said, "awww.. you got me a gift!" We all greeted him HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Then he began to open his gift... Unwrapped it all. He said, "this is a big box.. what is it?" I told him to just open it. I can't help but smile because he's in for another surprise!

Then when he opened it, he was like "Ohhh its a REBEL!" I know he doesn't want a camera because he is NOT into photography.. He told me, "You bought this for you huh? So you can take pictures of yourself.." I just laughed. He hasn't opened the "REBEL" box yet.. :P

So he opened the "REBEL" box and found another box.. ahahah! He's like "What the.. what is this?"

Then he saw the box and from that point he knew my gift wasn't a camera. He knew the box very well! Haha! I know from this point also that he got very excited already...

..but to disappoint him, it was an empty box! ahahaha! He went back to the box to see if there's something else inside. He's like, "Ohh it's empty!"

So he went back to the "REBEL" box.. and found another box! Hahaha! Never ending boxes..

and he found the watch inside. :] He is very happy because I know he wants that watch. I paid attention to all the things he was eyeing while we were at the mall. :P

Yup, I got him a TAGheuer watch. :] I hope he's happy that its not a REBEL! ahahah! I will get that REBEL for myself next time since I'm more interested in taking pictures than looking at the time ;p

SATURDAY MORNING

9:00AM

We got up early because the hotel we were staying at has a continental breakfast for free.. ;] it was pretty good. I wouldn't say no to FREE FOOD! :P

Adrian taking pics of me while I get ready. I ironed my hair because it was so windy there, my hair became frizzy. Ahaha! :P

I was all dressed up for San Francisco weather (70 deg F) then when we got to Vacaville, it was freaking hot! (85+ deg F). So I ended up taking the scarf out.

Vacaville Outlet. Has a hard time going there because the Bay Bridge was closed so we had to re-calculate our route. :[ took forever to get there and it wasn't even worth it! Cabazon is still the best! Why? Cabazon has so much more stores such as: UGG, True Religion, 7 Jeans of All Mankind, Ed hardy..and many more! So if I can turn back time, I won't go to Vacaville.

and for my readers who asked if I bought any MAKE UP?

The answer is NO! :] I wouldn't break my "NO MAKE UP" policy.. not yet! :P

Adrian's brother got him some Nike shoes :]

I got some things at Sanrio, including this shirt for 50% off! Great deal! :]

That's my update for our 2nd day at San Francisco. The trip was so much fun! Day 03 is much more fun, more pictures! So Stay tuned! ;]

Thanks for reading my long post. Hope you guys won't get tired of reading my post. :] Thanks to all my new followers!

I need to post my Cabazon Day too and the prizes from Fuz (Fuzkittie.com) So excited!

Sephora Haul + Food Porn

Note: Picture Heavy!!! Might slow down your computer. ^.^

Hello my lovelies! So I told you guys that I ordered something from Sephora during the time I was sick in bed. ^^ and I ordered that last August 08 (Saturday) and it arrived August 11 (Tuesday). That was lightning fast! Kudos to Sephora for shipping it fast! They gave me 10% for being a V.I.B (Very Important Beauty-Insider) so I took advantage of it since I needed some "necessities" ^^

Look at the inside of the box! *squeals* goodies!!! I ordered 5 items :) I'll be reviewing them soon! ^^

This one is actually for my mom. I bought one last month and fell in love with it so I recommended it to my mom. I will review this very soon!! I love it, mine is almost done! Need to get a back up very soon! ^^

This one was influenced by the beautiful Lindah! She gave me a sample through our swap and I just realized I need it! I alternate using this and my Dame Edna Powder. This MUFE HD Powder is an HG status ^^

I'm almost done with my MUFE HD Primer in Blue and really love that one but I decided to try #7 which is the Pink one. It stated in their website that it brightens the complexions and counteracts sallow undertones. I'm excited to try it ^^ I'll review the Blue one very soon!

I got a back up! Yay! This is my HG Make up Remover. I love love this so much! Read my review and you'll know why I love it: http://withadriyah.blogspot.com/2009/06/beauty-review-clinique-take-day-off.html

Then I saw lots of good reviews regarding this mascara so I went ahead and got it! I will also review this soon :)

I am loving this brush!! :) What do you guys think? Have you tried this mascara?

Then today [Aug 13], Adrian took me to Sanrio and I bought this Hello Kitty Air Freshener for my car. So cute! :) Then I found these Hello kitty scotch tapes so I got 2 and 1 melody ^^ I'm excited to use them to all the love mails I'll be sending in the near future ^^

Here's how my vanity looks like now ^^ I organized it. Yay! It looks way better now. I still want to change the decorations in my steralite drawers.

I started collecting make up last March 2008. It's been 1 year and 5 months and I must say I did pretty good in not overbuying things. I actually sold most of my stuff and kept the ones I really want and need. I mean I know some people who started collecting make up same time as me and I see them now with big/tall containers full of make up or vanities full of make up. But then they are planning to be make up artist so its OK. lol.

This is the other side. ^^

Then my lippie + MAC brush collection :) I need to make some DIY brush guards. :)

My dirty mirror + my miscellaneous brushes ^^

I want to get this shirt! It's only $10 at Charlotte Russe^^ every blogger should get this as our uniform. ahahaha! I wish they have a pink one :P

This is a tattoo sample. I am not planning to get one, but if I ever do, I'd like this design. lol :P

FOOD PORN!

I love food. A lot of us do. I love to eat, love to try new things. I was craving for some Dimsum so Adrian and I decided to drive almost an hour to Rowland Heights to eat at Happy Harbor.

I say its a decent place. The waiters are very attentive and always there to cater to your needs. The ambience is very nice and the food was good.

Expect to pay Tea + setting fee though. lol. you better drink that tea!!!

Dumplings! Yummmyyyyy!!! I love their dumplings, although its not the best Dumplings I ever tasted. :)

The ribs is absolutely amazing!! I recommend it! ^^ We also ordered crab rice and its one of the best fried rice I've tasted :)

Chicken feet!! I love this stuff -.^

Shark dumplings. Adrian ordered it. He liked it. I don't eat shark but I tasted it anyway, and its pretty good. Poor shark. lol.

SIOPAO! I love Pork Buns. :)

They serve fresh fish. He looks like he was starring at me. Pray now fish, its your last hours.. :p

Hope you guys enjoy food pics as much as I do. Anyway, personal life stuff, they did talk to that co-worker of mine but he just started whining & said we over work him too much, or I do since I do most of the schedule for the day. For Goodness sake, he is the laziest person I've ever known [well maybe not..but you got the point!] I'm so glad he's off tomorrow or I'll bust his ass. He just made me more mad and what am I gonna do? Since I'm his shift lead, I'll give him more work to do. Haha. Talk about abusing authority :P

Well, enjoy your Weekends, as for me I'll be at work! Tweet me! ^^ Also I've been haulin' make up the past few days, and I need to stop. As Adrian told me, "who will know you are wearing branded make up anyway?" TRUE. VERY TRUE. Unless I painted the work M.A.C. on my forehead? :P But I guess I have enough make up to last me a life time so I will try to cut down and eventually stop hauling. I NEED FALL CLOTHES!!! and bags...and shoes... :P

Also Adrian's birthday is coming up! I gotta plan something!! Any recommendations? I need to SAVE UP! SERIOUSLY. -.-

Hope you guys enjoyed the picture filled post. Until next time. ADIOS.
